Before I tell you about my day, I have a few Big Things to add to the blog. Firstly a few in Bundaberg that I missed last time I was there … The Big Lung Fish, or should that be skeleton of the Big Lung Fish?
Oh well onto to Mackay to pick up Millie and her car, complete with horse float. Went through Rockhampton, home of the six Big Bulls. I did photograph all of those Bulls on a previous visit, but on my way out if town I discovered they were multiplying … 3 more had appeared at a steakhouse just out of town …
Finally at Mackay. Left today to drive to Darwin, complete with Millie, her car and horse float full of furniture. I was up early!!!! 7.30 am!!! Left Millie’s at 9.11 am … Almost when planned … 9 am sounded sooooo early for me. With a couple of brief stops for fuel and cold drinks arrived at Hughenden at 6.50 pm. A long day … Set the timeframes with my son James … It was supposed to be approx 7 hours 22 mins … Patently not right, because long periods of 60 km for road works! Tomorrow planning to be up at 7 am to leave by 8.30 am … Eeekkkk!!! 7 hrs 11 mins … Supposedly … Be interesting to see how long it actually takes to get to Camooweal lol. Hope it isn’t as long as today! Better get some sleep …
